UVOD The development of the proposal of the study of Theological-Religious Sciences starts from the tradition of this study at the Catechetical Institute of the Catholic Faculty of Theology. The study of Religious Pedagogy and Catechetics, which preceded the study of Theological-Religious Sciences, has been structured and conducted at the Catechetical Institute of the Catholic Faculty of Theology since 1961. The study has been conducted first as a one-year study, then as a two-year study since 1964, and as a four-year study since 1978. In the academic year 2005/2006, the four-year university study of Religious Pedagogy and Catechetics has grown into a five-year study that has been conducted as an integrated study. Until now, the study has educated a large number of experts in the area of religious pedagogy and catechetics. The majority of graduated students works within the school system as religious education teachers in elementary and secondary schools, but also in schools/institutions for children with special needs, in publishing houses, cultural institutions, state institutions, in various media and in other places. The study of religious pedagogy and catechetics exists for fifty years already and in that period, it has justified its existence fully. According to the Statute of the KBF (a. 53) and the Reform of the Higher Institutes of Religious Sciences of the Congregation for Catholic Education, the Institute of Religious Sciences has to structure a study of theological-religious sciences by following the 3+2 model: a three-year undergraduate and a two- year graduate study. The study of Theological-Religious sciences has been developed, therefore, according to the directives of the Statute of the KBF, the Reform of the Higher Institutes of Religious Sciences of the Congregation for Catholic Education, and strategic documents related to the reform in the European area of higher education (the Bologna Process). The goal of the undergraduate study of Theological-Religious Sciences is to acquire fundamental philosophical and theological knowledge and to get to know and understand basic insights from other social-humanistic disciplines that are important for theological-religious formation. Students should get familiarised with some of the basic theological-religious disciplines that are important for the continuation of this study. By completing the undergraduate study, bachelors will be equipped to undertake jobs that demand knowledge and understanding of basic contents of historical, biblical, and systematic theology, as well as understanding basic philosophical, psychological, and pedagogical knowledge. Students acquire certain competencies that will allow them to be employed in the area of education, media, culture, publishing, in parish communities and similar places. 1 University of Zagreb Catholic Faculty of Theology 3.
